On a two-day notice they met in response to a recent series featured in a local newspaper, the Durham Morning Herald, in which the Durham public schools were portrayed as "jungles." Parents in the group were very upset that the problems of a few whites were played up in the series while problems faced by their children were ignored. Members of the group felt that the use of the word "jungle" was a deliberate racial slur aimed at blacks and black students. We view the school system not as a jungle, to be displaced by Urban but as a system that has inherent problems that affect our Renewal activities, (Projects i children, we refuse to accept the blame for the failure of 3 & 4 ) , the entire' Durham's desegregation plans, a spokesman said, community is invited to j Students and parents alike were disturbed over the high attend.

Its first objective will be to request and secure equal space in the Durham Herald and Durham Sun, to speak to the more fundamental problems that were omitted from the Herald series. Their emphasis It that the full range of problems that plague the school systems must not be covered over. The Concerned Black Parents and Students resolved , to submit a more detailed statement of concerns to the Carolina Timet, in the near future, following its next meeting Monday, March 4, 7:00 pjn. at St. Joseph's AME Church, 804 Fayetttvillt Street.
